His Heiress Wife (Retika) Chapter 186: That's Right, I Was the One Who Hit Him

Although Gwendolyn was already seventy years old this year, it was impossible to tell from her face
that she was that old.Her white and smooth face had no wrinkles at all.She looked to be in her fifties.

It seemed that Gwendolyn had taken good care of herself.

Sarah was worried that Melody would be afraid of strangers and couldn't adapt to this environment.So,
she pulled Melody's arm and brought her to Gwendolyn.She said with a smile, "Grandmother, that's
right.She is my second sister, Melody!"

After Sarah introduced Melody, she didn’t forget to tug at Melody's hand and gestured at her.Melody
casually greeted.

"Hello, Grandmother!"

Her voice was cold and calm without any warmth.

Gwendolyn smiled and nodded, "Alright, it's good that you are here!"

Everyone paid attention to Gwendolyn's loving expression as they sent out waves of flattery.

Only Melody noticed that the smile on Gwendolyn’s face was only on the surface.Her eyes remained
cold without mirth.

Reagan has always been arrogant.

But now that she was in front of her grandmother, she lowered her head to show how well-behaved she
was.

"Grandmother, I have been busy with my studies recently.That's why I couldn't come to see you
often.Please don't be angry." She pouted.



Gwendolyn looked at Reagan lovingly, her face filled with joy.

"Our Reagan is really a good child.You are studying hard now, so Grandmother naturally won't blame
you.It’s good that you have this kind of heart!" Gwendolyn flattered Reagan.

Before Reagan could reply, Charles squeezed over.

Compared to Reagan's attentiveness and obedience, Charles was much more perfunctory, like a
spoiled child.He looked at his grandmother and casually shouted.

"Hello, Grandma!"

It was just a simple greeting, but it made the old lady burst with joy.Her eyes were full of smiles.

The appearance obviously meant that she doted on Charles the most.

"Charles, My little grandson.How long has it been since grandmother last saw you? You child, you don't
even come to see grandmother when you have time.Come here.I want to see you closely.Why do you
look like you lost weight?"

The woman asked him with solicitous concern.

Charles was like a rebellious child in front of his grandmother; he seemed to be impatient.

Reagan was standing by the side with a straight face, but her tightly clenched hands revealed her inner
thoughts.

If someone were to take a closer look, they would know how angry Reagan was now! Melody stood
over on the side while looking down at the scene.Her sharp and beautiful eyes carried a deep meaning.

Reagan's value in the Sullivan's family turned out to be a ruse she sold herself.



Reagan was just a little more popular than Sarah.

The truth was that the most favored child in Sullivan's family was Charles.

Charles quietly glanced at Elizabeth.

This time, he chose to listen to his mother's advice and didn’t act rashly.

When he saw Elizabeth nod.

He immediately showed his red and swollen cheek in front of his grandmother, Gwendolyn.

Gwendolyn didn’t notice the redness on his face until Charles deliberately showed it to her.

Gwendolyn's eyes widened.Her face was full of horror, and her voice raised a bit.

"Oh my god, Charles, what's wrong with your face? Who has the guts to hurt you?"

The volume of her voice rose and attracted the attention of everyone.

Sarah noticed it as well.She glanced at her grandmother and then pulled Melody in confusion.

"Mellie, why did you hit him that hard in the face? Look, Charles’ face looks so red and swollen.Also,
that palm mark is too obvious." Sarah worriedly said in a low voice.

Melody glanced to the side, her sharp eyes slightly lowered as she snorted in disdain.

"Hmph, they’re trying to pull me down with this little tick of theirs?"

For some reason, Sarah felt that there was a hidden meaning in Melody's words.

"My Godness Mellie, what do you mean? Don't tell me that he secretly slapped himself harder so the
pam marks would become obvious? Is he really that shameless?" Sarah felt disappointed towards her



brother.

But at the same time, she felt helpless because she had no idea what to do to fix that dumb brother of
hers.

Sarah came up with this guess because she felt that Charles was capable of such a thing.

However, Melody only gave her a cold reply, "You will know later!"

Melody didn't answer Sarah's question directly.

As such, Sarah became more curious.

Charles felt that there was no way his father would seek justice for him.

But now that his grandmother who doted the most on him was here, how could he miss such a good
opportunity? He knew that Gwendolyn would always side with him.

The arrogant son of the Sullivan family acted like a wounded child in front of Gwendolyn.He looked
pitiful and helpless.

Charles said everything that happened earlier, "I accidentally said something wrong just now.Melody
heard it, and she hit me in anger."

They saw how Charles started to complain about Melody's attitude.

The relative who was close to Elizabeth began to accuse Melody of all sorts of things.

That person began complaining about Melody, describing her as some sort of an evil and arrogant
demoness.

Gwendolyn trembled in anger.She slapped the table with one hand.



"Just because of one sentence, she beat you up like this? How can a sibling like this exist? No, I have
to clarify this matter."

Gwendolyn pointed at Melody angrily and said firmly, "Melody, come here!"

Melody didn't refuse.She walked up to Gwendolyn.Her hand was on her pockets as she stood there
lazily.Her eyes were calm as she looked at the crowd coldly.Her gaze was so cold that it could make
someone shiver to their bones.

When Gwendolyn saw Melody with that cold expression on her face, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed
across her eyes.

However, she didn't show it immediately.

Today was her birthday party.

If she made a fuss here, everyone would see it.

They would inevitably gossip about her.

They would definitely spread rumors, saying that she was not kind enough and could not even tolerate
her juniors.

Gwendolyn didn't want that to happen.

In addition Melody was a special existence.

She lived in the countryside since she was young.

Thus, If Gwendolyn showed her disgust towards Melody from the start, the others would easily suspect
her of being biased.



As such, Gwendolyn tried her best to conceal her disgust towards Melody.

She tried her best to look at Melody calmly, "Melody, don't worry, Grandma will not be biased.Tell
Grandma, did you hit Charles? If you say no, Grandma will believe you too."

Gwendolyn posed a smile on her face.She wanted to show the people around her that she cared about
Melody.

Many people were watching them.

Those people seemed to be here to watch a good show.

Gwendolyn was aware of this.

If Melody dared to lie in front of everyone, Gwendolyn would take this opportunity to corner her.If she
dares, that would be even better"

Gwendolyn wickedly thought.She really hated Melody after all.

If Melody lied, then she would expose her.She would do anything to get justice for her precious
grandson.

After she heard Gwendolyn’s question, Melody nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, I hit him!" Melody admitted with her head high up.

Seeing that she still dared to admit it so arrogantly, Charles seemed to have grabbed the other party's
sore spot.

He jumped up impatiently and shouted, "Grandma, you saw it, right? Look at how arrogant this girl
is.She even admitted her fault right in front of your eyes! You should punish her, grandma."



Charles originally wanted to call Melody a jinx, but he already learned his lesson.

Melody even dared to hit Charles in front of his parents.

Who knew if she would continue to hit him in front of his grandma? Charles didn't want to take the risk,
so he decided to call her by her name.

Gwendolyn saw how Charles was stomping his feet out of frustration.She frowned slightly and didn’t
quite agree.

In the end, Charles was still the grandchild she doted on the most.

Although she knew that something was off with the situation, she still chose to side with him.

She comforted Charles and said, "Charlie, don't worry.Your Grandma heard it clearly, I will give you
justice!"
